Dynamic Array - Finding Capacity - c++

Question

I have been looking through the std::vectors source code and looking at how it's capacity (vector.capacity()) function works, i'm not quite understanding how i would implement it into my Dynamic array source code. I would not just be returning the current container size would i. e.g dynarray.size().
,Thanks

Answer 1

size() returns the number of elements that are held by the container while capacity is how many elements it can hold before more space must be allocated. So capacity can be greater than the size of the vector.
In your implementation, you have to create one more member capacity that will store the actual size of allocated array whereas size will hold the number of elements the container is holding.
